The references to reflection are all too common in ePortfolio discussions. However, it seems to me that far too often writers only suggest this as some form of self-indulgent introspection. One only has to browse through Helen Barrett's list of Metaphors to realise that the ePortfolio can have a vast number of uses.

I like the idea of using reflection in respect of considering one's Life-Story - well as far as anyone has got! I also personally believe that reflection can never really be just about introspection but about listening to other people's views, of feedback from peers and mentors and making a balanced assessment of the totality of views,

I was very impressed by W.J. Popham's book, 'Transformative Assessment'. However, in terms of building upon feedback I really felt that there is a place for using given feedback in the reflexive processes.

My question, therefore is: Does anyone know of a good work on reflection, particularly if related to ePortfolio thinking?

Hello,

I am a graduate student at Kansas State University in Education, Digital Learning specialty Instructional Design and
am interested in learning more about e-Portfolio information and evidence-based learning.

Thanks for letting me become a member and share your information about these with me.

NOTE to self: This is my first experience with Wetpaint.
